Russia will likely be forced to increase natural gas burning in the coming months as its storage facilities fill up, International Energy Agency (IEA) Director Fatih Birol said today.
He said confidence in Russia as an energy supplier has been lost around the globe since its invasion of Ukraine and cuts to natural gas exports, arguing that losing Europe as a partner would hurt Moscow.
“Russia is not winning the energy battle,” said Mr. Birol.
It is recalled that as it became known from a BBC report, Moscow has recently been burning huge quantities of natural gas on the country’s border with Finland, which could be exported to Germany via Nordstream.
According to the head of the EIA, the coming winter season will be a test of Europe’s solidarity and if the continent fails to respond the impact this will have may be felt “beyond the current energy crisis”.
